5.13s crush sleeve isn't crushing.

 

we just got it. thanks though. used a press to crush it down just a hair then it went right in.

 

Jerry,

How'd the install go?

How hard is it to do an install? It would be my first time inside a diff. What would the neccessary tools be to do this?

 

What will it cost me to change my whimpy gears(3.27) out?

 

I cannot beleive it. How'd you get the sleeve to crush?! I have the Superior 5.13's trying to go in.

My JK has been at the shop since last Thursday, they cannot seem to get it (sleeve) crushed. I mean they are being honest and straight forward, so its just a new learning curve as it's their first JK gear swap.

Jerry, you get that thing crushed!? lol

I have been quoted anything from $450 all the way up to $900, and that's install only, no parts.

 

went for ride on bike this morn stopped by jeep and they freaked me out 950. for labor for gears... unreal!!!!
Is this average price for install?

 

It depends. I deff would not go to a dealership for this. They are too cookie cutter and don't know shit most of the time. Look for a good off-road shop or transmission/ differential shop. Probably a little cheaper and better service.
Where are you from, perhaps someone on here can refer you to a shop?
